A Wedding on Lilac Lane

 In Hope Ramsay's A Wedding on Lilac Lane, the 4th installment in the Moonlight Bay contemporary romance series, this newest edition is endearing and tugs your heart with so much emotion. For Ella McMillan, she needed a clear break from a bad relationship and from touring with the band. She has dreams to play the fiddle in Nashville. But when she learns about her mother getting remarried, she heads to Magnolia Harbor, South Carolina and helps plans her engagement party. But there's a snag: Dr. Dylan Killough, her future stepfather-to-be's son. He wants to break them up and not help with the party. As they worked together to plan the perfect party, they get to know each other better and have fun while at it. Dylan didn't want his father Jim to tie the knot again, not since his father's latest remarriage didn't turn up so well. While his father plans to slow down and settle down with Ella's mother Brenda, he ended up handling his father's case load of senior patients and taking care of the practice. With one night of unexpected passion between them, it change things for them as they unexpected have feelings for each other. And he's worried that Ella might leave town to pursue her own musical dreams. But when a health crisis happens to Ella's mother, they split up since they couldn't do this to her mother's happiness. But with a chance of fate, Dylan professes his feelings for Ella, she had gotten her own happy ending. 

This was an enchanted contemporary romance when it deals with a different trope: falling for your future step-brother (or half-brother) in a blended family. I instantly cared for Ella on how she had fiery red hair and loved to play the fiddle in a wide range of music. I felt bad for her that her mother pushed her away and she wanted to please her. But the unexpected twist for falling for Dylan changed things around. I did think Dylan was pretty cool in his own way and championed for Ella when he took the blame. I loved the Magnolia Harbor small town setting that had captivating scenes for the enchanted location. The theme of the story is to be brave and follow your heart to be yourself.

If you love sweet contemporary romances that tug at your heart with plenty of romantic drama, lots of non-stop action, sparks of intrigue and heaps of love, A Wedding on Lilac Lane is the one for you.
